Primeval Drabble;

I don't claim ownership of Primeval or its characters.

My previous story was discontinued due to the fact that I got bored.

ENJOY

It's different. Something's missing; something that's always there, like a rash that won't stop pinching at you over and over again. What is it, what's missing? Where's Temple!? Oh he's over there. So it's not him so what is it.

"Hey guys what's up "I'm walking over to the ADD and that's when it hits me; the silence. It's never silent, never. Oh God it's happening again.

"Who?" I say quietly I'm scared I don't want to know, but I have to. It could be anyone; anyone apart from the people can in this room. Abby looks pale, like she's about to throw up; the others are the same but they stay quiet keeping their eyes away from mine. She opens her mouth, but stutters on the first word.

" Sa… Sa… A creature came through the anomaly and …and" she takes a deep breath her eyes meet mine , they're full of pain "it was carrying something …someone. It was Sarah." The sentence is sharp and violent. I replay it in my head over and over just to make sure I heard it right.

Memories flood back , the memories I try to keep locked away in the back of my head where I don't have to see them every second of every day. She was next to me, right beside me safe . I looked into her shining eyes just for a seconds and for the last time I say their gleam and their hope and innocence. She smiles softly I let my lips pull up to one side releasing a half smile BANG. Everything goes black . I don't know how long I was down for a minute, less ,more? I don't know. But when I wake, I wake to screams agonised begging screams. It my men their being ripped apart and there is nothing I can do . My vision becomes clear, I wish it hadn't . My ears peak to the shrill cries and the scent of savaged flesh attacks my sinuses. Oh God .Oh God, make it stop. I still can't move . I can't help them. I'm paralysed through shock, it only lasts about ten seconds, but that was too long. Suddenly adrenaline courses through my veins I'm up on my feet pounding away firing as I go. I don't fire at the creature's there's no point. I fire at my friends, it's the only thing I can do for them now. To take the pain away. The predators don't bother to chase, they have what they wanted. I just run in the other direction there is someone left. Sarah. She wasn't there, where was she? ….She wasn't far a hundred metres or so from me , I heard her before I saw her .The scream the horror of them controlled by agony that no human can with stand. The begging cry for it to all be over. The pain.

The creature as dead in seconds a single shot to the head took it out . I held her, I held her as she died . She bled to death ,it took several minutes .In her eyes I could see the fight it took her to stop the screams , she wouldn't let me do anything ,only hold her. We talked , she told me she loved me and that I was brilliant and I told her I loved her and not to leave me , that I couldn't lose another . She tried to laugh saying they'd be back and she told me I was bleeding a lot. I had to smile at that , I told her she should she herself in a half-hearted fashion. Then she slipped away. I cried that day , first time and last time I'd ever cried .(authors note; childhood tears not included).I couldn't do anything for her I couldn't even bring her home , none of them . I tried to lift her but my bloodied legs gave way under me , it wasn't until my hand brushed against my leg that I realised the bone was snapped, probably when I was knocked down by the predator . The only reason I got home was the adrenaline pumping around I couldn't feel anything for quite some time, not that I cared.

And now it was back to haunt me.

"Just…just do what I couldn't. Bring her home, bring her here." I say though it comes out stuttered and mumbled.
